Key Points
Manchester United (NYSE: MANU; the “Company” and the “Group”) – one of the most popular and successful sports teams in the world – today announced financial results for the 2024 fiscal fourth quarter and twelve months ended 30 June 2024.
Management Commentary
Omar Berrada, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “It has been a busy off-season for the club with successful training camps for both our men’s and women’s teams. We have strengthened our men’s first team with five exciting players and put a new football leadership structure in place to provide greater support to our manager, Erik ten Hag. Dan Ashworth was appointed Sporting Director and Jason Wilcox joined us as Technical Director, two extremely experienced and highly respected professionals who will add great depth to our team. We have added six players to our women’s team and are investing to ensure all of our teams have access to world-class training facilities at a fully renovated Carrington. We are also delighted to have extended our Principal Partnership with Snapdragon, after an excellent start, for a further two years in addition to the initial three-year term.
“As I embark on my new role as Chief Executive Officer of this historic club, we are all extremely focused on working collectively to create a bright future with football success at the heart of it. We are working towards greater financial sustainability and making changes to our operations to make them more efficient, to ensure we are directing our resources to enhancing on-pitch performance. Today, we announce new guidance for fiscal 2025 which reflects a partial year impact of the transformative cost-savings and organizational changes that we have been busy implementing over the summer.
“Ultimately, the strength of Manchester United is driven by the passion and loyalty of our supporters. Our clear objective is to return the club to the top of European football. Everyone at the club is aligned on a clear strategy to deliver sustained success both on and off the pitch, for the ultimate benefit of our fans, shareholders, and hugely diverse range of stakeholders.”
Recent Restructuring and Cost-Savings Initiatives
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the club commenced a business transformation plan to unlock operational efficiency with the ultimate goal of improving the club’s financial sustainability and maximize the resources available to improve football operations. These initiatives included installing a new executive leadership team covering both the business and sporting side, streamlining the organizational structure and, following a thorough cost review by Interpath Advisory, the club implemented a significant cost rationalization program.
In January 2024, the club announced the appointment of new CEO Omar Berrada and a new football leadership team was installed under his leadership, creating a new reporting structure with seasoned football leaders, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox. Additional club executive leadership was also appointed in April, and the new non-football structure will be supported by a more streamlined organization. Beginning in March 2024, the club engaged Interpath Advisory for a thorough club-wide cost review which identified substantial cost-savings. As a result of this change in strategy and with the intention of creating a leaner, agile and more sustainable structure, the club subsequently announced an employee redundancy program in July 2024, which was concluded at the end of August 2024 and resulted in the rationalization of the club’s employee base by approximately 250 roles across all departments.
In total, the club expects to realize annualized cost savings of approximately £40 million to £45 million, before implementation costs of £10 million. Due to timing and other contractual obligations, the club expects to realize these savings over fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
Outlook and Guidance Details
For fiscal 2025, the Company is introducing new full year revenue guidance of £650 million to £670 million and new adjusted EBITDA guidance of £145 million to £160 million, while exceptional costs related to severance charges associated with the headcount reduction program are expected to total approximately £10 million. Included in full year revenue guidance is an approximate £30 million improvement to Retail, Merchandising and Licensing revenues driven by the transition of e-commerce to an in-house operation in partnership with SCAYLE to better serve our global fans and followers with an expanded and more compelling offering, new merchandise categories, as well as greatly improved fulfilment and product availability. The new re-branded site (https://store.manutd.com/) was launched on 5 September, and due to timing, the topline impact for the first quarter 2025 will be minimal, however we expect revenue to build through the Holiday season in the second quarter 2025 and into the second half of the fiscal year as we recognize the transactional revenue. Full year Broadcasting revenues in fiscal 2025 will be approximately £30 million lower than the prior year, given the men’s first team’s participation in the UEFA Europa League versus Champions’ League participation in fiscal 2024.
For the full year fiscal 2025, the club currently anticipates non-player capital expenditures to total approximately £60 million and includes the upgrade of the main players’ building at the Carrington Training Centre, which is on plan to be completed by the end of the 2024/25 season and is intended to enhance the performance environment. In March 2024, the club led the creation of the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force to explore options for the revitalization of the Old Trafford area in Greater Manchester. The task force has since convened for four meetings and all options continue to be vetted as the Task Force continues to seek input and feedback from all key stakeholders.
The club remains committed to, and in compliance with, both the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules and UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Regulations.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted loss for the period and adjusted basic loss per share are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use” on page 9 and the accompanying Supplemental Notes for the definitions and reconciliations for these non-IFRS measures and the reasons we believe these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.
(2) In addition to non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility as of 30 June 2024 was £30.0 million and total current borrowings including accrued interest payable was £35.6 million. At 30 June 2023, the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was £100.0 million and current borrowings including accrued interest payable was £106.0 million.
Revenue Analysis
Commercial Commercial revenue for the year was £302.9 million, in line with commercial revenue of £302.9 million in the prior year.
For the quarter, commercial revenue was £71.2 million, an increase of £3.8 million, or 5.6%, over the prior year quarter.
Broadcasting Broadcasting revenue for the year was £221.8 million, an increase of £12.7 million, or 6.1%, over the prior year, primarily due to the men’s first team participating in the UEFA Champions League compared to the UEFA Europa League in the prior year. This is partially offset by the men’s first team being eliminated in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and finishing 8th in the Premier League in the current year, compared to reaching the Quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League and finishing 3rd in the Premier League in the prior year.
Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £38.4 million, a decrease of £26.1 million, or 40.5%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of our men’s first team finishing 8th in the Premier League compared to 3rd in the prior year, as well as playing 5 fewer matches in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Matchday Matchday revenue for the year was £137.1 million, an increase of £0.7 million, or 0.5%, over the prior year, due to strong demand for hospitality offers, mostly offset by the men’s first team playing 8 fewer home matches in the current year.
Matchday revenue for the quarter was £32.6 million, a decrease of £2.8 million, or 7.9%, over the prior year quarter, due to playing 2 fewer home matches in the current year quarter.
Other Financial Information
Operating expenses Total operating expenses for the year were £768.5 million, an increase of £87.4 million, or 12.8%, over the prior year. This increase is explained by category below.
Employee benefit expenses Employee benefit expenses for the year were £364.7 million, an increase of £33.3 million, or 10.0%, over the prior year, primarily as a result of the men’s first team participating in the UEFA Champions League in the current year compared to the UEFA Europa League in the prior year.
Other operating income Other operating income for the year was £nil, compared to £1.1 million in the prior year.
Other operating expenses Other operating expenses for the year were £149.4 million, a decrease of £13.8 million, or 8.5%, over the prior year. This is primarily due to reduced matchday costs associated with the men’s first team playing 8 fewer home matches in the current year than the prior year.
Depreciation, impairment and amortization Depreciation and impairment for the year was £16.5 million, an increase of £2.7 million, or 19.6%, over the prior year, as a result of increased capital investment in tangible fixed assets at the Club. Amortization for the year was £190.1 million, an increase of £17.4 million, or 10.1%, over the prior year, due to investment in the first team playing squad. The unamortized balance of registrations at 30 June 2024 was £408.6 million.
Exceptional items Exceptional items for the year were a cost of £47.8 million. This primarily comprises of costs incurred in relation to the sale of 27.7% of the Group’s voting rights to Trawlers Limited, an entity wholly owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, including transactions fees payable on completion and compensation for loss of office. The charge also includes additional contributions we expect to pay towards the Football League pension scheme deficit based on the latest actuarial valuation. Exceptional items in the prior year were £nil.
Profit on disposal of intangible assets Profit on disposal of intangible assets for the year was £37.4 million, compared to £20.4 million for the prior year.
Net finance costs Net finance costs for the year were £61.4 million, compared to net finance costs of £21.4 million for the prior year, an increase of £40.0 million, or 186.9%. This is primarily due to more stable foreign exchange rates in the current year resulting in a small unrealized foreign exchange loss on unhedged USD borrowings of £2.8m, compared to large unrealized foreign exchange gain in the prior year of £22.4m. The current year also saw an increase in interest costs payable on our external borrowings and a larger discounting charge on player creditors due to investment in the first team playing squad.
Income tax The income tax credit for the year was £17.5 million, compared to a credit of £3.9 million in the prior year. In both years the credit arises primarily as a result of deferred tax assets recognised in respect of losses arising in the year.
Cash flows Overall cash and cash equivalents (including the effects of exchange rate movements) decreased by £2.5 million in the year, compared to a decrease of £45.2 million in the prior year.
Net cash inflow from operating activities for the year was £85.7 million, a decrease of £10.1 million compared to a net cash inflow of £95.8 million for the prior year. This is explained further in the Statement of Cash Flows on page 14 and Cash Generated from Operations note on page 17.
Net capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment for the year was £17.5 million, an increase of £1.9 million over the prior year. This is primarily due to expenditure on the upgrade of facilities at Carrington Training Centre.
Net capital expenditure on intangible assets for the year was £153.7 million, an increase of £29.1 million over the prior year, due to continued investment in the first team playing squad.
Net cash inflow from financing activities for the year was £86.2 million. This is due to £158.5 million of proceeds from the issue of shares as part of the transaction agreement with Trawlers Limited, partially offset by £70.0 million of net repayments on our revolving facilities.
Balance sheet Our USD non-current borrowings as of 30 June 2024 were $650 million, which was unchanged from 30 June 2023. As a result of the year-on-year change in the USD/GBP exchange rate from 1.2716 at 30 June 2023 to 1.2643 at 30 June 2024, our non-current borrowings when converted to GBP were £511.0 million, compared to £507.3 million at the prior year end.
In addition to non-current borrowings, the Group maintains a revolving credit facility which varies based on seasonal flow of funds. Current borrowings including accrued interest, at 30 June 2024 were £35.6 million compared to £106.0 million at 30 June 2023.
As of 30 June 2024, cash and cash equivalents were £73.5 million compared to £76.0 million at the prior year end. This movement is detailed further in the Statement of Cash Flows on page 14 of this report.

Cautionary Statements
This press release contains forward‑looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many are beyond the Company’s control. These statements often include words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “contemplate,” “possible” or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements. These factors are more fully discussed in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-182535) and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-35627) as supplemented by the risk factors contained in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Statement Regarding Unaudited Financial Information
The unaudited financial information set forth is preliminary and subject to adjustments. The audit of the financial statements and related notes to be included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2024 is still in progress. Adjustments to the financial statements may be identified when audit work is completed, which could result in significant differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information.
Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use
1. Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as loss for the period before depreciation and impairment, amortization, profit on disposal of intangible assets, net finance costs/income, exceptional items and tax.
Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation, impairment and amortization), material volatile items (primarily profit on disposal of intangible assets and exceptional items), capital structure (primarily finance income/costs), and items outside the control of our management (primarily taxes). Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. A reconciliation of loss/profit for the period to adjusted EBITDA is presented in supplemental note 2.
2. Adjusted loss for the period (i.e. adjusted net loss)
Adjusted loss for the period is calculated, where appropriate, by adjusting for charges/credits related to exceptional items, foreign exchange gains/losses on unhedged US dollar denominated borrowings (including foreign exchange losses immediately reclassified from the hedging reserve following change in contract currency denomination of future revenues), and fair value movements on embedded foreign exchange derivatives and foreign currency options, adding/subtracting the actual tax expense/credit for the period, and subtracting/adding the adjusted tax expense/credit for the period (based on a normalized tax rate of 25%; 2023: 21%). The normalized tax rate of 25% is the current UK corporation tax rate (2023: US federal corporate income tax rate of 21%).
In assessing the comparative performance of the business, in order to get a clearer view of the underlying financial performance of the business, it is useful to strip out the distorting effects of the items referred to above and then to apply a ‘normalized’ tax rate (for both the current and prior periods) of the weighted average US federal corporate income tax rate of 21% (2023: 21%) applicable during the financial year. A reconciliation of loss for the period to adjusted loss for the period is presented in supplemental note 3.
3. Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share
Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share are calculated by dividing the adjusted loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Adjusted diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There is one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share awards pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). Share awards pursuant to the Equity Plan are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the financial year. Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share are presented in supplemental note 3.
